Conflicting Social Preferences in Negotiations
An individual's various social preferences can influence their negotiating behavior in contradictory ways. For example, a person's preference for fairness may suggest one course of action, while their preference for reciprocity might suggest another. This internal conflict between different social preferences adds complexity to predicting bargaining outcomes.

Dividing the Asset
Imagine a negotiation where a Proposer must offer a split of $100 to a single Responder. If the Responder accepts, the money is split as proposed; if they reject, neither person receives anything. Now, consider a change to this structure: the Proposer still has $100 but now faces two Responders. The Proposer makes a single take-it-or-leave-it offer, and the first Responder to accept it gets the offered amount, while the Proposer keeps the remainder. How would the introduction of a second Responder most likely affect the share of the $100 that the Proposer offers?
Explaining Different Bargaining Outcomes
In any negotiation, the final outcome is influenced by the 'rules of the game' (the institutional structure of the interaction) and the 'preferences' of the participants (their personal values, such as fairness or self-interest). For each scenario described in the left column, match it to the primary determinant in the right column that best explains the behavior or outcome.
True or False: In a one-time negotiation to split a sum of money, if the only preference of both participants is to maximize their own personal gain, the specific process used for the negotiation (e.g., who makes the first offer, whether counter-offers are allowed) will not affect the final division of the money.
Evaluating a Bargaining Outcome

Analyzing a Negotiator's Dilemma
A negotiator in a one-time interaction rejects a small but positive monetary offer, stating they did so to punish the other party's 'unfair' proposal, even though it meant receiving nothing themselves. This decision-making process best illustrates a conflict between:

Reconciling Social Preferences in Partnership Negotiations
True or False: The difficulty in predicting the outcome of a negotiation stems exclusively from the conflicting goals between the different parties. A single negotiator's own competing social preferences (for example, a desire for a fair outcome versus a desire to retaliate against a past perceived slight) do not meaningfully contribute to this unpredictability.
Match each type of internal preference conflict with the negotiation scenario that best illustrates it.

Constructing a Negotiation Scenario with Internal Preference Conflict
An individual in a business negotiation is offered a deal that is profitable but slightly less advantageous than a deal offered to a colleague for a similar transaction in the past. The individual feels a strong urge to reject the offer to signal their displeasure with the perceived inequity, yet also feels pressure to accept it because rejecting it would mean forgoing a guaranteed gain. This internal struggle best demonstrates a conflict between which two competing preferences?
